There's a reason why this album has sold over 14 million, cause it is the best greatest hit album out there, still is, period. Every song on this album is a gem from Take It Easy all the way to Best of My Love. From ballads to straight out rock and roll, to R.B. to country, all elements are here. My all time favorite since the day it was concieved is One Of These Nights, all time favorite. Used to have this on vinyl and cassette, now I have it on CD, time to convert people, go out and get this greatest hit package, well worth it.

The Eagles' album Their Greatest Hits 1971-75 was released in February of 1976.
The album was released as a holdover until the next studio album but it would sell so consistently that it would hit #1 immediately in the US, get the first Platinum album award just introduced earlier in 1976 by the RIAA for a million copies sold and to date is the best selling album of all time here in the US alone with 29 million copies sold. It would overtake Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1999 once and for all as US album sales champ and it is because The Eagles were about the music whilst Mr Jackson's personal and legal troubles would banish him from popularity in the US and his music and image has been blacklisted/tarnished whilst The Eagles continue to thrive, even in 2005.
This album consists of ten tracks from the first four albums.
The 1972 self-titled debut is represented by the Top 20 hits Take it Easy, Witchy Woman and Peaceful Easy Feeling.
1973's Desperado is represented by its title cut and Tequila Sunrise, both classics.
1974's On the Border is represented by the rocker Already Gone and the #1 Best of My Love.
1975's chart-topper One of These Nights is represented by the #1 title cut and the Top 5 smashes Lyin' Eyes and Take it To the Limit.
Drummer Don Henley, guitarist Glenn Frey, guitarist Bernie Leadon and bass player Randy Meisner plus late arrival guitarist Don Felder on these highlights from The Eagles' first four albums created timeless classics that are still getting airplay on classic rock and/or album rock radio.
Their Greatest Hits 1971-75 is a great greatest hits and a good overview but if you want to go for the throat get 2003's Very Best of The Eagles 2-disc set for a superb Eagles overview.
Highly recommended
